The findings indicate there is a need for an increase in trainings to treating doctors to fulfill all the parts of a prescription and adherence of prescriptions to NMC guidelines and include conducting educational programs directed for change in attitude among doctors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study has shown the need of changes in current prescribing patterns in tertiary care teaching government medical colleges.
